Fantasy Ultimate books?

[tabascojunkie]

Will there ever be Ultimate books for fantasy, like the Ultimate Wizard or the Ultimate Warrior?

Not exactly, the ultimat books do cover fantacy but combine it with all other genre's (Admitingly Brick is a little super centric). Ultimate Mystic is schedualed for a few months from now IIRC

[Derek Hiemforth]

I'd expect that the upcoming The Ultimate Mystic will probably be less super-centric than The Ultimate Brick (understandably) was. I haven't heard anything about a book like The Ultimate Weaponmaster, or something along those lines, but if such a book was done, I'd imagine it would have a lot of info usable for fantasy warriors. The Ultimate Martial Artist also has a fair amount of material useful for fantasy warriors.

The Ultimate series books aren't slated for any one genre. They're intended to cover subjects and rules sets that apply in general, or to multiple genres. Some tend to have more use in certain genres than others -- for instance, Brick and Speedster both skew a bit toward comic books superheroes, because STR and Movement Powers have the most use when characters can but LOTS of STR or movement -- but even those books still apply to other genres to some degree.

Thus, there's no "Ultimate Warrior" -- but there is an Ultimate Brick (for strong/tough characters), and will eventually be an Ultimate Weapon.

Yes I have found UMA to be extremely useful for Fantasy.

LOL. Sorry, but I haven't had the time to do any TUS work for a couple of months. As long as the RPG market remains so anemic that we have to produce 18 books a year to keep the bills paid, my time to work on "spare time" projects is greatly diminished.

2006 schedule, maybe?

No Ultimate Warrior? How soon you forget. (though it seems the guy's gone a bit off the deep end since his glory days)

I'm just surprised it took so many posts for someone to reference the wrestler.

Dunno. We won't decide on the 2006 schedule until early next year.

The best and easiest way to ensure that I get TUS done as quickly as possible is for y'all to each buy so many copies of every book that we can scale back production enough to give me back some spare time.

So, in other words if we'd rather have lots of books and are willing to wait for Ultimate Skill until it makes the schedule, we should buy fewer books?

Ladies and gentlemen... fire at will!

Every time TUS comes up on the Boards, there's huge support for it, and virtually no naysayers. I can't believe this isn't on the publishing schedule already - there's obviously demand - but let's hope for 2006.

[lazarus]

Steve, the obvious solution for TUS is to make it no longer a spare time project - put it on the Release Schedule.

Sounds like it would be a book I'd pick up (not that I wouldn't pick up all the H5 books if I could...)
